Ran the Orem course with Larry this morning at an easy pace. This was my first run since Boston. My legs felt pretty good, and there was hardly any discomfort at all from my healing blisters. Actually, I recovered pretty quickly after the marathon and my legs felt pretty good all week. Once I get the blisters fully healed I'm ready to get after it again.

I ran some easy and enjoyable miles with Larry and Lyle this morning.

I was up late last night watching the Boston Marathon coverage that was on Versus that my wife recorded for me. I also wanted to run at lunch time but didn't think I was up for a two-a-day yet, so I slept in.

I ran the Lake View course with Tom. We ran at an easy pace and talked about Boston. It was very enjoyable, especially with the beautiful spring weather. It was also encouraging to find out that our easy pace was an 8:22 average for the 5.2 miles. I think I'll hold off until next week, but I'm beginning to get the urge to run some sub-7:00 minute miles just to convince myself that I still can.

I ran the Orem route with Larry again this morning, but this time Wayne joined us, and we started at 5:30am instead of 5:45am. Larry and I had talked about pushing the pace a little harder, even on our easy runs, and having Wayne along helped us. This morning we averaged 8:39/mi for the 6.2 miles, which includes warm up. About four miles of the run were sub 8:30/mi, with the last mile or so at around 7:45/mi. It was a good run.

I ran up Provo Canyon with Larry, Wayne, and Greg this morning at 6am. With the canyon breeze, it was a little cooler than expected, but overall it was a beautiful morning for a run.

We ran up to Vivian Park. Wayne, Greg, and I continued up to South Fork park, and then Greg continued up to Trefoil. I ran just under 15 miles @ 8:24/mi. My paces for different sections of the run were:

start to Bridal Veil: 3.76 mi @ 9:30/mi

Bridal Veil to Vivian: 2.0 mi @ 7:57/mi

Vivian to South Fork: 1.6 mi @ 9:18/mi

South Fork to Vivian: 1.6 mi @ 8:02/mi

Vivian to Bridal Veil: 2.13 mi @ 7:54/mi

Bridal Veil to fountain: 2.75 mi @ 7:38/mi

fountain to start: 0.86 mi @ 7:17/mi

This was a good run for me. It gave me back a lot of confidence after a less than stellar outing at Boston.
